Lick it, Lick it Real Good

Touring the Ben and Jerry’s factory in Vermont while taking an afternoon off from Skiing at Sugarbush is good. Getting free ice cream at a scoop shop on a nearly 80 degree day in April is so much better. With some morally reprehensible corporations making the local news recently (think Gillette and gubernatorial candidate Deval Patrick’s Coca-Cola ties) Bostonist is glad to take a little something back from our growth hormone free friends from the north at a Ben and Jerry’s scoop shop. Bostonist is maxing out our caloric intake for the day in a fifteen minute walk. Freedom Trail-Eat your heart out. From the Prudential Mall we’re grabbing some New York Super Fudge Chunk, going past the store on Newbury for some Dublin Mudslide, loosening our belts, maybe taking a little nap in the Common and making it to the store at Park Plaza for some Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz to keep us going through the rest of the afternoon. If we haven’t had enough we’ll hit the store in Harvard Square and then have someone drive us out to Natick, ok, now we’re just getting obsessive.

Free Cone Day runs from noon to 8 p.m. today, April 19
